Every now and then, a conversation hits your core. 

My interview with regenerative farmer Kate Kavanaugh, back in 2023, was one of those. 

Why was I talking with a regenerative farmer and what does this have to do with healing trauma? 

Based on her lived experience, everything!  

Today, I want to share a short clip wherein she breaks down the root of the words autoimmunity and autism (two diagnoses which she was able to move beyond). 

Kate’s healing story is mind blowing to say the least. 

If you’d like to immerse in her stories and triumph, then watch the full talk (which I do recommend):

Other topics we covered range from the re-introduction of wolves at Yellowstone National Park and the positive impact that had on the ecosystem, to the origins of the DSM (Diagnostic Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders) and its founder’s thoughts on how most of the “disorders” we diagnose people with are just normal reactions to life’s conditions. #micdrop 🎤💧

I might add that just because a lot of these ‘normal reactions to life’s conditions’ have been normalized, does not mean that they are useful. 

We do not live in pristine environments wherein our initial conditions were perfect, and anyone who is healing from early or developmental trauma knows this all too well. 

Because of this, we MUST work on our health and healing. 

Speaking of which, our next live session of SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) is fast approaching.
